A dedicated media professional, Uncle Tim, as he was passionately referred to by several of his former media students at the Harare Polytechnic’s Division of Mass Communication, Nyahunzvi co-authored and contributed to several journalism handbooks which were used as reference material by media students throughout Africa.

Notable among these is Reporting in Africa published by the Thomson Foundation in London and Friedrich Nauman Foundation and An Editor’s Manual published by Mambo Press. //End//
